Lidl perfumes similar to big names

Sorry if it’s been posted sooner. It’s not a deal as such but just a heads up that Lidl are selling Eau De Parfums that are incredibly similar to big names. I have Angel and DKNY and two I tested were VERY alike and only £4.99. Worth buying if you are on a budget.

I would not call the two you mentioned big names and the test of a quality perfume isn't in how it smells but how long the small lasts for.

Segata, Angel and DKNY are around the £50 mark for 50ml. I think that makes them quite a good make? Maybe I’m just too used to Charlie Red?! Hahathe Lidl perfume is eau De parfum and it lasted a good few hours of thags any help

Don't take too much notice. Segata(error)'s modus operandi here on HUKD is to rain on everybody's parade and have a little moan in whichever thread she happens to see and care to comment on.

Not worth replying to, in my opinion.

In my experience they never ever match the originals. If you want the real thing there's only one thing you need do, pay top dollar buy them

I've tried their suddenly and it has a nice fragrance.I would agree it did not linger as long as the premium brand it smells like, but it costs a fraction of the price so you can top up many times and still be quids in. That said, perfume is probably the only thing I rarely compromise on. Cheap stuff for work which smells expensive but may need to be reapplied is ok,but nothing beats a puff of the expensive stuff for a night out. I have a bottle of chanel no 5 my husband bought me for Christmas a few years ago. Took me a couple of years to open it because for me it was a luxury. A quick spray every now and then just makes me feel good.

Then your shopping in the wrong places as I see them for around £20+, yves saint laurent last about 8 hours or so, one bottle of Opium for example lasts me about a year as two sprays is enough for the entire day

I guess it is horses for courses. For me part of the process and the fun of it is the fact that you know it is a luxury brand. Some people like to smother themselves in fragrance, for them I guess this would work. I'd rather use a little bit of the real stuff on special occasions

Its one of the few things where the cost can actually show in it being a better product tho, no synthetic fragrance can beat the ones with natural ingredients as disgusting as musk and ambergris sound they are expensive for a reason

Completely agree. I'll keep my one bottle of the good stuff and make it last
